Not in atoms, no. But I mentioned scattering, which is a different scenario.
- XorNot 2y agoAnd I have absolutely no idea what you think this explains. Which is the point of physics you know: to convey actionable concepts about the behavior of experiments. Not be cryptic and vague.

- gus_massa 2y agoIt explains what happens if the electron goes too fast and instead of getting "trapped" it just changes it direction a little.
